Eyewitnesses told Punch correspondent who visited the market on Sunday that the attack happened within minutes.
One of the traders who identified himself as Mummy Blessing said, “We were just opening for business when we heard gunshots. Everyone left what they were doing and ran away. Before we knew it, the men who were wearing masks went straight to where Ridwan was selling meat, shot him, and fled. When we all came back, we saw him in a pool of bl00d.”
